Discover the best wines made with Pinot gris as a single variety or as a blend of Agrelo.
Rich, ample whites with a golden robe, showing aromas of pear, quince, honey, smoke, ginger and spice. Made as structured dry wines (Alsace AOC), off-dry and sumptuous late-harvest sweet (vendange tardive, sélection de grains nobles). Lighter and crisper in Italy as Pinot Grigio (Veneto, Friuli). Also in Germany (Grauburgunder), Hungary (Szürkebarát) and Oregon. A grey mutation of Pinot Noir.
Argentine sub-region of Luján de Cuyo in Mendoza, high-altitude vineyards (900-1,100 m) at the Andean foothills on alluvial soils. Historic cradle of Argentine Malbec with old vines 40+ years. Signature Malbec as ruling red: powerful and deep with blackberry, plum, violet, blackcurrant, chocolate, vanilla and sweet spices, round tannins and velvety palate — peak for great age-worthy reds (Catena Zapata, Achaval-Ferrer). Firm Cabernet Sauvignon, supple Merlot.
